The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) recorded that Magnitude 5.2 Earthquake hits  Jose Abad Santos (Davao Occidental). The time of impact is around 07:48:46 AM on Monday Morning, April 27, 2020.

PHIVOLCS also recorded the location of the quake, 05.49°N, 126.72°E – 130 km S 70° E of Jose Abad Santos (Davao Occidental), and the Depth of Focus (Km) is 054. There are no casualties that have been damage.

This is the usual scenario in the Philippines because we are under the Pacific Ring Of Fire where active and dormant volcanoes reside. The red dot represents the epicenter of the earthquake.

Instrumental Intensities:
Intensity I – Malungon and Alabel, Sarangani

Tsunami is also the greatest threat after the quake as the wave moves backward from the seashore and produces a gigantic wave that has a strong power to crush its path.
